VQ Question

Question: How do you feel about grades?

This is an important question to me because grades are something I take seriously. In my view, grades doesn't measure your intelligence but rather it measures your determination, hardwork, and patience. Good grades are something too strive for because in the end, it will define the type of person you are.

What's your name?

My name is Syed Lahori. It is not a very common name in the United States because it is foreign. My name is rooted in the Middle East and it is spelled in many different ways with the same pronounciation. It can be spelled Sayyid, Sayid, Sayed, or Syed. The name is not really a name in the Middle East but rather it is given as a title (like Sir, King, Sergeant, etc.) to someone who is descended from the Prophet Muhammed. The person who has this title usually has a middle name which is his actual first name. My middle name is Adnan or Eden in English. However, I never really use my middle name and I have grown used to Syed as my first name. All my friends and family refer to me by that name. It has been mispronounced many times before and I don't really make a big deal out of it. So this is the story behind my name.

How would you characterize the frequency of your personal computer use?

Computer use has become a part of my daily life. I use it almost everyday to check e-mails, get school work done, chat, etc. I have had a computer since I was 10 and I never used it alot back in those days. Computers are important to me because they provide lots of information, entertainment, and communication. Without a computer, I probably wouldn't have been able to get all of my school work done on time. Computers are one of the most significant tools in my life.
